In his resignation letter, released by the army, Halevi said he was leaving “due to my acknowledgement of responsibility for the (military’s) failure on October 7”.
“The objectives of the war have not all been achieved. The army will continue to fight to further dismantle Hamas and its governing capabilities, ensure the return of the hostages” and enable Israelis displaced by militant attacks to return home, he said.
The pair’s resignation comes days into a ceasefire with Hamas that brought to a halt 15 months of war sparked by the deadliest attack in Israel’s history.
On October 7, 2023 thousands of Palestinian fighters stormed into southern Israel from Gaza.
They also took 251 hostages into Gaza, including women, children and elderly people.
The militants were able, despite Israel’s state-of-the-art defences, to storm a major military base as well as residential communities across the south and a music festival, where they committed atrocities.
It took the military three days to completely clear the militants from Israeli territory.
